True, but that's not what Shlomo is saying. He's just making a fairly valid point: Robert and his colleagues actually use data and forecast weather; they distribute the data, and the TV weather people use it to make their forecasts.
In principle he's right, and he's certainly not bashing Robert, although he may be bashing TV weatherpeople.

I understand that the TV weather people get their information from NWS and repeat it on their show. BUT, that's not the crap on TV I am talking about.
I am talking about all the "sky is falling" hyperbole, constant references to their Star Wars radar system, and how we all need to take a cyanide pill to end the inevitable suffering that we will endure when the grapefruit sized hail and 500 mph winds descend upon us. I've not heard any of that crap from Robert or the NWS.
The part of the weather that the TV people get from Robert and NWS is the only part that is not crap.
